A Mind of My Own

I’ve learned….
That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

I’ve learned….
That when you’re in love, it shows.

I’ve learned….
That just one person saying to me, “You’ve made my day!” makes my day.

A blind man sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet and a sign that read:

“I am blind, please help”.

A creative publicist was walking by him and stopped to observe he only had a few coins in his hat. He dropped a few more coins into his hat and without saying anything, took the sign, turned it around, and wrote on it. He placed the sign by the blind man’s feet and left.

That afternoon, the creative publicist returned by the blind man and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was him who had re-written his sign and he wanted to know what did he write on it? The publicist responded: “Nothing that was not true, I just rewrote your sign differently”.

He smiled and went on his way. The blind man never knew but his new sign read:

“TODAY IS SPRING AND I CANNOT SEE IT”.

A : Hello. Did you call me?

B: Called you? No. who is this?

A : This is heaven. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

B: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something..

A: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

B: Don’t know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.

A : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

B: I understand. But I still cant figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

A: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

B: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

If you’re mad with someone, and nobody’s there to fix the situation…
You fix it.

Maybe today, that person still wants to be your friend.
And if u don’t, tomorrow can be too late .

If you’re in love with somebody , but that person doesn’t know…
tell her/him.

Maybe today, that person is also in love with you.
And if you don’t say it, tomorrow can be too late.

If you still love a person that you think has forgetten you…
tell her/him.

Maybe that person have always loved you.
And if you don’t tell her/him today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you need a hug of a friend… ask her/him for it.
Maybe they need it more than you do.
And if you don’t ask for it today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you really have friends who you appreciate… tell them.

Maybe they appreciate you as well.
That if you don’t and they leave or go far away today , tomorrow can be too late.

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
   Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.
2. Keep only cheerful friends.
   The grouches pull you down.(keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches
3. Keep learning:
   Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle.
   "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
   And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
   And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and Lots of time with HIM/HER.
6. The tears happen:
   Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is yourself. LIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love:
   Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
   Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health:
   If it is good, preserve it.
   if it is unstable, improve it.
   If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips.
   Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares? LOL

But do share this with someone.

I'm not the sort who will go in depth into blogging. I just do my own stuff of putting up links where they interest me. Lorelle has compiled and added some links in his blog (assumming it's a guy) on how to compile a series of intra-links in a post to those yet to be published posts. I must say, I never though of that, my usual links are those that have been posted or websites that I found of interest to me.

It would seem that all the news are now 1st found by bloggers who would quote them in their posts. I seem to be the last one to know. Yet, the news would not have spread because not all of them are of interest to the general public. Bloggers who have deep interest in certain areas would source them out and post them in their blogs.

Me? I just post my daily rantings, emails (so as to keep within my allocated size limit) and link up to posts or websites that are interesting or useful. I sure hope that the links are interesting and useful
Now, I was browsing through The New Paper online in my office this morning when one of the articles caught my eye, Brother hit Then, within a day… sister hit. The title sounds ominous. I began reading and didn't really notice the photo of the brother and sister who had been infected with dengue. Reading halfway through, I noticed that the pair was actually my cousins. I knew that they had been hit with dengue. However, what I didn't know was that they had been interviewed. The article was published on 23 June, 2006. I don't have the habit of buying TNP because there are simply too many advertisements.

The poor pair had to go through needles and blood tests. I shudder to have the idea of having more than 1 needle in me. My aunt had just returned from visiting my youngest aunt when she heard the news. She rushed from the airport to the CDC almost immediately. The thing is that they didn't interview my aunt who did the shuttling everyday. Instead, their dad got the honours because he had made for them a note. I must say the note was very funny, the mosquito was hugely drawn with "Welcome home, we miss you". 姨丈，没想到你这么肉麻。However, that was sweet of him.

It would seem that it's easier to discover that we are no longer healthy. Cancer of the whole body can just appear anywhere and any time. It can occur at any age, our bodies are that fragile. It can be scary for anyone but there are those who are fighters all the way to the end.

Life throws us obstacles along the way. How we face them is something in us that makes us do it.

Depressing, ain't it?

I think I'm in a sort of depressed mode right now. Maybe the stress or the inability to control my workload is getting to me. After completing the assigned task, I was given another just when I was starting to enjoy my course this morning. Spoilt the rest of the morning. Anxious that I go back to the office. I had to return what, the course is only in the morning. We have to update the calendar so that they know our whereabouts but still call and ask me when I was going to return. Duh~

I better find something else to do.
